Car starting then dying

Hey everyone. Having a bit of a nightmare.

I installed my stage 2 LPFP around 3 days ago. After install I took it out and got some great logs. Everything seemed perfect. Had to recode the EKPM3 to the Brazilian X1 or X3 I believe (Ethanol) pump allows no fuel pump plausibility, anyways.

I left the car for a full day and the next day, I got in started fine, idled fine.

The car felt like it was misfiring so I quickly pulled over plugged the MHD adapter in, didn’t see anything popup and continued. After about 3 seconds of driving it just cut. Absolutely no power etc. When I tried to restart it would switch on then die. At the time I got the error codes :
29DC (Cylinder injection cutout)
29F3 (Low pressure sensor, electric)
2BA2 (Terminal 15 deactivation, activation) this one I have had for a while. And happened after I unplugged vacuum from Actuator on the exhaust.

Anyways I managed to get it home via a tow truck. And then Everytime I start it it dies. Even if I apply throttle it builds pressure in the HPFP to even 2,000 PSI but still cuts out.
The current codes I get are:

Active
2BA2 (Terminal 15)

Shadow

2FCA (Fuel high pressure being Freigabe Der Einspritzung)
2FDA (Crankshaft sensor signal missing)

I did notice the other day my LPFP sensor was acting up and was stuck on 140 PSI.

I will attach some graphs and videos etc.

I ordered a new HPFP sensor, LPFP sensor with rail (new revision) and a Crankshaft sensor.

Would any of these things cause these issues ? Or has anyone else had a similar issue ?

Click this text for a video of what happens
(In the video I apply throttle and with the log attached the HPFP hits 2,000 psi)


Click here for first log

Click here for second log

Many thanks for any help!

Changed fuse F76. Car started and then died again with crankshaft code around about the same time it died last time.

Likely crankshaft sensor. Not a bad idea to get everything fresh on the fuel side. Without a good crank signal, the car won't run.

Replaced sensor. Car just cranks with no start.

Getting DME : Terminal 15 deactivation, activation
CAS : Engine start, starter operation.

Any ideas ?

I mean considering the car won’t even idle, unfortunately not.

The HPFP has failed. If idle and apply throttle HIGH PRESSURE RAIL plummets

Just here now, forgot to reply. The LPFP Sensor was mimicking HPFP failure, so I replaced the LPFP sensor and it worked.

Just the LPFP that failed?

HPFP was ok?
